Don't go to the moon, there are gods on the far side of the moon.

"I cannot answer Lin Jibai."

When Xu Wangshu spoke, his voice was low but resolute.

All the screens in the encrypted chamber were filled with the same question.

Who is responsible for the closure of Nantianmen?

This question is less like a question and more like a knife hanging over everyone's head.

If the answer is Lin Jibai, Beitianmen can reclassify him from "missing person" back to "the abnormal core of the closed Tianmen." If the answer is an organization, it can request that organization to submit its authority. If the answer is no one is in charge, it will determine that the person is unclaimed on Earth.

This is a problem with traps on all three sides.

Qin Lan asked, "Is there a fourth answer?"

Xu Wangshu stared at the moon painting, his eyes bloodshot.

"have."

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow: "Wrote the wrong answer again?"

"It's not that the writing is crooked," Xu Wangshu said, "it's that we refuse to assign blame to a single person."

Wen Zhaolin raised his head.

He was probably the person in the cabin who understood this issue best.

The old Heavenly Court was not afraid of sinners.

It even likes sinners.

Because once you find a sinner, you can compress the complex human choices into a single, manageable object. Kill them, seal them away, archive them, and that's it.

However, the closure of the South Heavenly Gate was not the action of one person.

Lin Jibai blocked the door.

Lin Wangchuan left behind counter-evidence.

Xu Wangshu recorded the testimony.

Lin Xiaoman refused to be the key.

Lu Chen's bow shot severed a core link of the Heavenly Ladder.

Wen Zhaolin handed over the evidence of his crimes.

Qin Lan ordered the human nodes to publicly testify.

Countless ordinary nodes also participate in the verification.

This isn't about a hero taking down a door.

This is a chaotic world where, at the last moment, everyone refuses to take over.

"Then that's the answer," Qin Lan said.

The technician hesitated: "What format?"

Xu Wangshu raised his eyes: "We don't need its format."

She posted the moon image on a public channel, creating a new profile directly.

[Statement of Responsibility for the Closure of Nantianmen]

In the first line, she wrote:

[The South Heavenly Gate is closed; filings by a single responsible party will not be accepted.]

second line:

This matter is the result of multiple witnesses, multi-stage decision-making, and multiple chains of evidence.

The third row:

There are no scapegoats in the human world.

After these three lines were sent out, the patrol officer did not react immediately.

The ground network crashed first.

Some people supported them, some panicked, and some even started to criticize them for dragging all of humanity onto the war machine.

The remaining members of Tianheng immediately seized the opportunity and issued a statement.

The closure of the South Heavenly Gate was decided unilaterally by the Moonlit Squad.

Tianheng is willing to act as a representative for rational communication and establish contact with Beitianmen.

When Lu Chenggong saw this sentence, he almost burst out laughing from his wound.

"They're quite proactive, and they want to act as the interface."

Qin Lan's expression, however, was very cold.

"They don't want to communicate; they want to seize the right to interpret the law."

Wen Zhaolin looked up at the Tianheng statement on the screen, his face showing no anger, only a deeper weariness.

"This is a bad habit I developed," he said. "Tianheng has always believed that whoever stands up to represent humanity first will get the ticket to the next round of order."

Lin Xiaoman looked at him coldly.

"Do you still want tickets now?"

Wen Zhaolin shook his head.

"I want to tear it up."

After he finished speaking, he walked up to the camera and asked to connect to a publicly available global channel.

Qin Lan did not agree immediately.

"If you speak up now, Tianheng might turn against you."

"I know."

"Then why did you say it?"

Wen Zhaolin looked at the inspector's figure on the screen.

"Because some sins cannot always be covered for by others."

Access to public channels.

Wen Zhaolin stood in front of the camera, his face pale, his arm still wrapped in the burn bandages left from his re-entry.

"I am Wen Zhaolin."

He said.

"I bear significant responsibility for the Nantianmen Incident."

The global channel was silent for a second.

The statement from the remaining Tianheng employees is still trending at the top of the hot search list, while the founder of Tianheng himself has already begun to undermine the company.

"Ten years ago, I pushed for the complete restoration of Buzhou Mountain, concealed the risk of Nantianmen demanding rights, and eliminated Lin Wangchuan's objections."

"I once believed that humanity needed to be entrusted to a higher order."

He paused.

"Now I admit that this was a mistake."

"But the closure of the South Heavenly Gate is not something I can explain alone, nor is it a crime that anyone should bear."

"Humanity refuses to submit scapegoats."

After the message was sent, the patrol shadow finally responded.

[Diffusion of responsibility.]

[Unfavorable for review.]

[Recommendation: Identify the key executors.]

Lin Jibai's name lit up on the screen again.

Xu Wangshu's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"It still wants him."

Lin Xiaoman gritted her teeth: "What right does it have?"

Lin Jibai's lighthouse echo flickered slightly at that moment.

Maybe it's because I'm handsome.

Lu Chengong tried to suppress his laughter, but still couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xu Wangshu closed his eyes.

She wanted to yell at him, but in that instant, she was certain that he was still calm.

As long as Lin Jibai can still be annoying, Beitianmen hasn't completely got him hooked yet.

She immediately turned to Qin Lan.

"Activate the second plan."

"What second option?"

"Break the key executors into chains."

Xu Wangshu broke down the entire process of closing the South Heavenly Gate into sixteen nodes: discovering the key, refusing to entrust the management, shooting down the Heavenly Ladder, establishing the Lighthouse, submitting testimony, repairing the succession system, applying for Lin Jibai to take back the power... Each node corresponds to at least two witnesses and a piece of evidence.

Lin Jibai is very important in this.

But it's no longer the only one.

The North Heavenly Gate can no longer compress the event into "Gonggong variable closes the South Heavenly Gate".

It can only confront a chaotic, complex, and mutually corroborating network of human relationships.

The white characters on the patrol's outer shell flickered chaotically once again.

[Failed to assign responsibility.]

Someone in the cabin breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, the patrol shadow suddenly turned from the outside of the moon's orbit.

It did not continue asking questions.

It began to move toward near-Earth orbit.

[Insufficient testimony.]

[On-site verification begins.]

Qin Lan's expression changed drastically.

"It needs to get close to Earth."

Xu Wangshu looked at the main screen and said coldly, "It's not about getting close."

"It wants to investigate itself."
